Big Sam eyes Yakubu for West Ham
8:00am Thursday 14th June 2012 in Blackburn Rovers & Premier League Table & Results
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
FORMER Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is eyeing up a move for Ewood Park hot shot Yakubu – for a cut price £1million.
West Ham United are in the market for a striker after last season’s immediate return to the Premier League and Yakubu is understood to be high up on ‘Big Sam’s wish list’.
The Hammers are believed to have put aside £4million to land a striker to score the goals needed to keep them in the top flight - and Yakubu’s bargain price tag will allow them to offer him a lucrative personal package.
Yakubu has already attracted significant interest from the Middle East and Asia after Rovers’ relegation to the Championship, but is understood to have his heart set on staying in the Premier League.
Steve Kean would ideally like to build next season’s campaign around the Nigerian, after his 18 goals in all competitions last time round, but appears to be fighting a losing battle.
The 29-year-old made an instant impact after signing for an estimated £1.5m from Everton on the final day of last summer’s transfer deadline.
Kean will attempt to convince the striker to stay at Ewood Park to help the club back into the top flight but, with a £1m relegation clause inserted into his contract, Yakubu holds all the cards despite being under contract.
Yakubu has scored goals throughout his Premier League career, although injuries have hampered his progress.
He has hit double figures in a season for Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton Leicester and Rovers and believes he belongs in England’s top tier.
Yakubu has already admitted publicly he wants to play in the Premier League next campaign, despite enjoying life at Ewood Park, and is expected to get his way.
Losing Yakubu for just £1m would be another heavy blow for Rovers, who expect to also lose prized asset Junior Hoilett for a cut price fee.
The winger is out of contract next month and a move abroad would leave Rovers looking at less than £1m of compensation.
Meanwhile former Ewood Park favourite Colin Hendry has held talks with Kean about the possibi-lity of joining the coaching staff.
Hendry and Kean are understood to have met on Tuesday, after months of tentative discussions, with Hendry likely to join the club for next season in some capacity.

Well Redknapp's available. I bet Mrs Desai has not got a clue and her nephews wont know unless informed by our fans, not that he would come here anyway.
Well its not good the worst close season since Paul Ince was appointed looks like the clown is staying and the fan's opinions do not matter will it dawn on someone when our first home game attracts less than 10k fans? All they have to do to raise an additional 2 million is to fire off the clown and appoint Curbishley or a decent experienced manager.

Come to think of it SK just convince me why any player would want to stay or come to Ewood other than for money.
Come on Venkys have you thought yet or do you prefer to keep your thoughts to yourselves just in case. I bet Venkys are sweating on the bottom line that Kean is going to be in big demand for the top jofb at Spurs - he is too good for the championship surely

But off the pitch he has been judas 3 times now including stabbing Uncle Jack in the back which was very bad and led to relegation in 1998/99 season. The stuff he is saying about Kean is 100% against the fans and he seems to be deluded.

Sorry FR but at present I come down on Hendry will be part of the problem not the solution.

We have been relegated. We have complete parasites in charge at our club. Who knows what shady dealings have been going on?
Whilst I cheered his name from the terraces then, I hardly think Colin Hendry now, either from a personal or football perspective, is a good thing coming to the club. He is being brought in to protect parasites. But we should cheer him for that?

I know exactly what has been going on for 19 months and as I have stated numerous times, I am disgusted at it and hate everything this club has become, but the likes of the old whinging men on here, people have lost sight of what BRFC means to them, not Venkys, not Kean, but the Club. In the hay-day Colin Hendry was as much a star as Shearer, Sutton and Flowers. The way the oldies are attacking him on here is simple, because he dare to speak up at a time WE all wanted change at the club, so what!!! we want someone like that at the club...don't we, or do we want Alan Curds, Harry Redknapp, etc...yea course we do, but we ain't getting it, so yea better the oldies stay away until you get what you want and then come back and reclaim your seat...which I have no doubt will still be available in the year 2020.

No other decisions matter when you have someone so detrimental as Kean at the club. From a footballing, financial, or just a PR perspective, Kean being around is the worst thing possible.
So why is he still here?

I wont go down the personal route with Hendry but, solely down to his ability or non ability as a coach. His track record thus far is poor to say the least.
For is it not that he would have forged his reputation long ago should he be of good repute in the game ?
His tenure at Blackpool was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and, this is from folk's who have supported them for generations. The set up was a absolute shambles under him. The reasons as to why can be discussed by one and all ?
Our club is rotten to the core with these scurrilous odious imposters and, imo, this move for Hendry will end in tears for all party's.
My belief over Hendry is that he was a thoroughly outstanding defender through the outstanding coaching he received and, not that he his a thoroughly good coach ?
I believe the 'Odious One' is becoming marginalized in the world of Football and, he his scraping the bottom of the barrel over Hendrys possible inclusion ?
Nothing HE does down at Ewood will ever count for anything. He patently is not up to the job of managing and, I see nothing to change my mind.

Maybe he will first team coach driver or security guard at Brockhall and yes I am being ridiculous but not much more ridiculous than the tirade of abuse the guy has to put up with cos of things he did 'wrong' in his private life. Let he who is without sin cast the first 'Nori' and all that... (Nori = Accrington Brick)
My view on it all is that I still see big Col at Wembley as a raw and quite young player who had just scored the winning goal in a cup final! And then later as the last man standing, Captain Braveheart on oh so many occasions for the Rovers....I choose to pass over the rest of the rubbish stuff - but then where would we be without our rose tinted goggles eh RR...remember throwing pigeon peas at each other in the Legs O man...happy days!

Just two final points:
1. If he wants a lawyer, then he would be ill advised to choose me. I have never had any legal training.
2. If you can point out anywhere in any of the above posts where I actually defended Hendry, then please let me know.

Aye, the sun is attempting in peaking out here too !
A well deserved feet up lapping up the rays is due after the turmoils down at Ewood, I would surmise !
I just cannot under any other circumstance see that which would put Hendry in line for a role at Ewood other than that which confronts us ?
The contentious issues that abound around BRFC are heartbreaking in so far as this should never have been allowed to develop in the first place ?
Not one person as come out and held up a responsible hand for the disaster that besieges BRFC.
I'm maybe being unreasonable in what I believe can be delivered down at Ewood but, it certainly doesn't feel and look that way ?
I find distasteful the 'Moat & Castle' scenario that as engulfed Ewood Park and, the ostracism I, personally feel.
I ask at this time what is their to support ?
The only aspect I truly feel in supporting are BRSIT and BRAG as I do not have any faith in the current regime and, let us not forget, these past 18 months have witnessed the most turbulent in BRFC's history. Even under Bill Fox, when his spuds were helping to pay the bills did BRFC sink this low.
In a nutshell we have careerists, egotistical maniacs, amateurs and out and out capitalist's plundering and, attempting to reinvent BRFC.
The pessimist in me states that it will not work in the foreseeable future with these people involved ?

For is it not that he would have forged his reputation long ago should he be of good repute in the game ?
His tenure at Blackpool was nothing short of an unmitigated disaster and, this is from folk's who have supported them for generations. The set up was a absolute shambles under him. The reasons as to why can be discussed by one and all ?
Our club is rotten to the core with these scurrilous odious imposters and, imo, this move for Hendry will end in tears for all party's.
My belief over Hendry is that he was a thoroughly outstanding defender through the outstanding coaching he received and, not that he his a thoroughly good coach ?
I believe the 'Odious One' is becoming marginalized in the world of Football and, he his scraping the bottom of the barrel over Hendrys possible inclusion ?
Nothing HE does down at Ewood will ever count for anything. He patently is not up to the job of managing and, I see nothing to change my mind.
Divide and Rule maybe a little extreme here but, we are not far off the truth as far as I'm concerned.
Hope all is well Mr French ?

roughing it, mythos in one hand iPad in other 33c in the shade aegean in front blah blah...
anyway, enough about my hardships.....two reasons and two reasons only why Hendry is on board....
1.same nationality as Kean....stick together!
2. The powers that be see Hendry as a way of getting the fans onside because of his past status within the club......in reality 'big col' is just being used like the rest of us, admittedly he'll pick up a few pieces of silver in the process.
Aye, the sun is attempting in peaking out here too !
A well deserved feet up lapping up the rays is due after the turmoils down at Ewood, I would surmise !
I just cannot under any other circumstance see that which would put Hendry in line for a role at Ewood other than that which confronts us ?
The contentious issues that abound around BRFC are heartbreaking in so far as this should never have been allowed to develop in the first place ?
Not one person as come out and held up a responsible hand for the disaster that besieges BRFC.
I'm maybe being unreasonable in what I believe can be delivered down at Ewood but, it certainly doesn't feel and look that way ?
I find distasteful the 'Moat & Castle' scenario that as engulfed Ewood Park and, the ostracism I, personally feel.
I ask at this time what is their to support ?
The only aspect I truly feel in supporting are BRSIT and BRAG as I do not have any faith in the current regime and, let us not forget, these past 18 months have witnessed the most turbulent in BRFC's history. Even under Bill Fox, when his spuds were helping to pay the bills did BRFC sink this low.
In a nutshell we have careerists, egotistical maniacs, amateurs and out and out capitalist's plundering and, attempting to reinvent BRFC.
The pessimist in me states that it will not work in the foreseeable future with these people involved ?
Have a lovely days fella's :)

Le soleil has been shining bright here in SW France today - but this miserable mess at my beloved Rovers continues to cast a dark shadow over all these days.
When will we see the blue (and white) skies and bright sunshine once again over Ewood...
